I am trying to add multiple LinearLayouts into one declared in xml. Everyone has 3 textView which will be edited in code. My problem is, when i am inflating xml layout to View object in code, all margins are ignored. My second question: How can i dynamically set ids to textViews and then edit text in it?
LinearLayout xml which is inflating:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/pointsAwaiting"
android:layout_marginTop="40dp"
android:background="@drawable/background_blue"
android:orientation="horizontal"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="10dp">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="20dp" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="15dp" />
</LinearLayout>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="20dp" />
</LinearLayout>
He is inflating into this piece of code:
<
ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@drawable/background"
tools:context="pl.com.qiteq.zielonomocni_rework.HistoryActivity">
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/mainView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="16dp">
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/historyView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
And finnaly java code: (loop counter is for example)
LinearLayout mainView = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.historyView);
for (int i=0; i<=2; i++){
View layout = View.inflate(this, R.layout.history_bar, null);
mainView.addView(layout);
}
The reason all your margins are being ignored is that you are passing null into your inflater here:
View layout = View.inflate(this, R.layout.history_bar, null);
When you do this all the LayoutParams of your view are thrown away. You should replace it with:
View layout = inflater.inflate(this, R.layout.history_bar, mainView, false);
To set text in the TextViews you don't need to set a different id for each one, just give each one an id. Then in your loop you can do something like:
List<TextView> textViews = new ArrayList<>();
LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(this);
for (int i=0; i<=2; i++){
View layout = inflater.inflate(this, R.layout.history_bar, mainView, false);
mainView.addView(layout);
TextView textView = (TextView) layout.findViewById(R.id.text1);
textViews.add(textView);
}
You would then have a reference to each of your TextViews in the List
